They're not in time with the music, no, they just alternate at a high (but constant) speed.

Boss Blitz was actually fun because of the time limit. Really forced you to "learn" how to defeat the bosses most efficiently. Tough as nails, but so satisfying.
No, not at all. Bosses are the worst part of any Mario game for me.
And of course I beat it but didn't get the fucking gold flag so I have to do it AGAIN.
That's the thing, normally they aren't too great, but Boss Blitz changed that (imo, of course).
I've used the spin jump trick with other characters too but nowhere near as consistently as you did there.
Watch this video.
I did the exact same thing during the beat block part. Felt so good.
You need to think fast aka don't think at all, just do it.
If you don't feel too much confidence doing that then yeah, your only option is using Tanooki suit.

Any tips for using the cherry power up? I have no idea which one I'm controlling.
You controll all of them. Just focus on one of the characters. Tha'll be your main.
If you lose your "main" character then focus on another one.
walk all of them into a wall to line them up/sync them
If your characters get spread too far apart, try walking them into a corner or wall to get them into a close-knit group. A lot easier to control them and keep them alive that way.
Edit: beaten by seconds

Thanks for the tips.
Game is really great so far. Totally worth a WiiU purchase.

The Double Cherry is so interesting. It's one of those things that makes me wonder about how they do the coding and whatnot. I mean, the characters move at different speeds until they catch up with each other. They sync and de-sync depending on how they interact with objects and walls, etc.
It's a really cool powerup. Perhaps underutilized, too, but I'm not sure how much of it would be appropriate.
Now I'm dying to have four players going at once with multiple Double Cherries each. O_O

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Is the unlockable character still considered a spoiler? Use the unlockable character. Perfect for the beat blocks, especially when there are two of the same colors at once.

You can find 2 easy ones at
Star-5. The second one is hidden near the checkpoint flag.

The second Green Star in world Flower-3
is by far my least favorite Green Star, just cannot seem to get it.
Piranha Creeper Creek After Dark
You literally just twirl the control stick then jump, like Super Mario Sunshine. And any character can preform it, Luigi just has the highest jump.
Incidentally i just discovered this move today. This game just keeps on giving!

Holy crap, I just beat
. I played as Mario without power ups. After about a hundred lives or so, I finally got the pattern down
Hands down that was the most difficult level in any Mario game I've ever played (sadly I haven't played Sunshine or both Galaxies). It made the last levels of Lost Levels seem like a walk in the park. And finishing it was SOOOOOOO satisfying. Dat home stretch!

Did you get all stars and stamp?

Up to World 7 now. Worlds 4-6 = *soo good gif*
If anything, the game moves too quickly through its various level ideas/types. I can barely remember what I just played. At least in Galaxy, other stars would force you to revisit at least a portion of the levels, giving your mind a chance to the settle.
My mind is now mush.

That's what makes this game so good, almost all the levels are amazing so it makes going back for all the stars and stamps not seem like a chore. This game gives me the same feeling the day my parents got my brothers and sister a snes with Mario world.

Yes I did! Thank goodness the stars and stamp on this level were in plain sight and literally on the path. I completed the entire playthrough with Mario for all worlds and levels. Now I have to do the entire game again with the other 4 characters, which I'm really looking forward to because of the different play styles and approaches. This is the rare game where I actually look forward to playing over and over again and not get bored with the subsequent playthroughs. I shudder to think about completing
Champion's Road
It's why this game needs DLC so badly. So many ideas simply didn't get the time in the sun they deserved. And I mean that as a compliment, because the game is both beefy and brimming with ideas as it is. But I want more!
As someone who played all those games, I can tell you

YES YES YES! I will download that DLC so hard
Some ideas for DLC:
-Exploration mode (once you've beaten the game) where the timers are disabled so you can explore every nook and cranny at your leisure, grab screenshots, and fool around playground style on any stage with other players. Case in point, my friends and I play the Snow Park level over and over again doing snowball fights, ice skate race/bumper cars, etc, but our fun is cut short because of the timer.
- More MarioKart style levels!
- Arena stages for multiplayer "battles". See that title screen? That could be one of the "arenas", complete with day/night and weather changes.
- Double cherry mode for all levels @_@
- Luigi Easter egg challenge. Throw in a hidden 8 bit Luigi in ALL the stages, but make him super hard to find. Blend him in the background, put him in the most inconspicuous areas, or set a criteria like collect all coins in the level for him to appear.
- More Nintendo references like what we saw with
the secret entrance to tile Link
You're right, of course.
I actually thought of that right after my post--not sure how that never occurred to me previously....I don't think the movements actually sync up, aside from the control inputs. Not sure how they do it, but there's some math you can do to get movement variables relative to the player's direction. That way you can just compare two variables normally, adjust one of them, and turn them back into the normal movement.

100% complete! Absolutely fantastic game; easily in my top ten ever.

Was I tripping or did I see a pixel art Luigi pop out of a block for no reason?
Does anyone know if the Japanese version of the game has the cat suited characters say NYA NYA instead of MEOW MEOW? That would be super cute if they let us switch in all versions.

Post-game spoilers:
I wish they made all post game worlds like the star world, especially the first two levels. The level remixing of mushroom and flower world is fun too, but I'd like even more original and really challenging levels.
Guess I'm greedy, lol
Just a tiny dissappointment though, game is amazeballs!!

Just be glad this isnt dlc for $10 for a world like how stuff is shaping up on the other next-gen consoles
Anyone has any recommendation which levels to play best in multiplayer? I'll be able to finally test it today and I want to play some fun levels but honestly a lot of them don't seem that interesting to repeat.

Yeah, that one was annoying :/
There is a ton of 8-bit Luigis hidden throughout the game I spotted several myself and it was discussed earlier in this thread.

Awesome, thanks!
Don't know what kind of things you look for in games that you wouldn't find interesting mechanics interesting to play a second time through. But multi-player provides a whole new dynamic that at the very least should feel different (whether you like it or not is another story). If you are playing with people new to the game, just start from the begging and edit your playlist accordingly.

I'm so jelly. I gotta work on getting more stickers!
